Bobby Fischer, the reclusive chess champion, once said "You have found a good move - fine - now look for a better one." The same advice holds true in bridge. If you settle for second best, you will not achieve your full potential. Through a series of problems that are both fresh and a genuine test of skill, the reader is offered the chance to become accustomed to looking for that extra edge. Whether or not he finds the best answers first time round, he will surely develop new ways of thinking to strengthen his game. This book was originally published in 1994, and in this new edition are substantially revised and expanded.

The Extra Edge in Play at Bridge edition by Terence Reese Julian Pottage Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
Average all around book on Declarer play. Low intermediates wont appreciate the finer points.
Its a reasonable book.
I've read almost all of Reese's books (and thats saying a lot because he's so prolific). This was the only one that left me disappointed. It's almost as if he didn't write the book and Julian Pottage (the co writer) did, maybe Reese just added his name?
Here are some things that I didn't like
* The obscure solution was maybe 2% better than what you would otherwise have done. If this type of situation comes up (which will be rare, it was some obscure safety play) you will do better than I will one time in 50. Whil this may be importwant if you can play like Bobby Hamman, mostof us will make other far more important errors. This would be of value only to an expert (someone who contends for national titles, not just a good club player).
* Some had reasonable play decisions, but poor analysis. There was a hand that involved testing for a plit taht would have changed the odds from 52%-48% to 49%-51%. Again, if you select a line of play that has a 49% chance of success rather than a 52%, you probably are not missing out too much. And this assumes that the authors assumption is correct, about the initial distribution. If its not then you are not 49-51 but instead 50-50 and might as well take the first line.
The problem was the explanations were not well done, as they were in all of Reeses books.
IF you are a contender in the Vanderbilt, Spingold, or Resinger, you may want to read this book. If you are just a good solid player I suggest you read Reeses other books like
The Most Puzzling Situations in Bridge Play
Snares and Swindles
Extra Chance
and a few others.
Again, I wonder if Reese just affixed his name to this for soem royalties, and Pottage wrote it.
An excellent collection of problems by the game most established authors. Well worth your time and effort in assimilating the ideas presented.
